Shire airs worries over police station conditions

A western Victorian council is pushing for the State Government to upgrade a small Wimmera police station.

The Yarriambiack Shire visited the Murtoa police station this week and has raised concerns about its condition.

Mayor Andrew McLean says two portables were joined together to form the station in the 1990s.

He says there is no disabled access and the working conditions for local officers are substandard.

"There's a list of problems including the smell of sewage that doesn't seem to be able to rectified ... the windows not being able to shut, it's not safe for housing of guns, etcetera, so there's a lot of small things that go together to make it a fair bit of a concern," he said.

"The progress association down there have written to the Minister about it previously.

"It's an issue that has been raised with ministers before.

"We hope that we can get a good hearing I suppose you could say."

Victoria's Police and Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells has been contacted for a response.
